Yu Minglang was not a person who liked to listen to music, but on the journey home, he turned on the car stereo and played a soothing piece of light music. He turned off the air conditioning, rolled down the windows and allowed the breeze to blow in.

The summer night wind was just perfect, not too hot, carrying a hint of coolness. The way it naturally blew by, didn’t it resemble Chen Xiaoqian?

No pretensions, no contrived manners, and absolutely intolerant of being taken advantage of.

Perfectly refreshing when needed, too much and she becomes domineering, too little and she becomes timid. Just the right amount, just right.

So in this world, there truly could be a woman who is just right. No matter what she does, watching her just felt right for him.

Yu Minglang’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel to the rhythm of the music. When he passed the Porridge House where she had washed her hands before, he suddenly braked.

He was so busy at work that he didn’t know when he would be free to go out next time.

Just as the doctor said about obsessive-compulsive disorder, as long as there is someone to accompany and care for, it can reduce the chance of an outbreak.

When Xiaoqian was about to wash her hands, Yu Minglang stood behind her, which quickly diverted her attention.

But what if… he’s not there?

This issue puzzled Yu Minglang.

Time, companionship, these were not what he could give Xiaoqian.

His fingers tapped irritably a couple of times, then suddenly, Yu Minglang’s eyes lit up, his hand slapped on the steering wheel, and the car made a U-turn.

In the suburbs of Qiang City, there was a decent-sized antique shopping street. At this late hour, all the shops were closed. Yu Minglang drove to the residential area behind the street, which was also developed by his eldest brother, Yu Mingli. The environment was tranquil. At night, all the doors in the corridors were locked, and you couldn’t get in without a key.

Yu Minglang looked up, checking the number of floors, only four. Piece of cake.

He stretched his wrist a bit, then began to climb up along the cement platform and safety net. In 40 seconds, Yu Minglang successfully reached the fourth floor, hanging onto the cement platform with one hand and knocking on the window with the other.

Qi Yue was sitting cross-legged on his rosewood sofa, holding a pair of stone-lined walnuts, listening to traditional opera. He was just humming a few lines of Single Sword Club aria, when suddenly…

“Honourable men have aspiration, I see this Single Sword Club as the village festivity, what a dist— Oh, my God!” He was so frightened that he nearly lost his breath.

The walnuts in his hand fell from the shock. Youngest Brother Yu, the former little tyrant, scared him to death!

Qi Yue rushed over to open the window, and Yu Minglang swiftly hopped in from the outside.

“What are you doing coming here this late at night!? Why didn’t you just call me so I could have gone downstairs to let you in?”

“Uncle, calling is too slow.” Yu Minglang walked straight to the sofa. This was his Uncle’s house.

His uncle dealt in jade and was not much older than his eldest brother, but he was a generation senior. He got along well with Yu Minglang. Even their taste in furniture was similar. The rosewood sofa set at Yu Minglang’s home was an antique that his Uncle had found.

Right, the sofa, it needed to be changed. Xiaoqian said it was hard and uncomfortable.

“It would only take me 2 minutes to go downstairs if you called. This is the fourth floor, if you slipped, my mom might burn this place down.” His uncle had been close to his older sister since they were children. There was quite an age gap between the two, and he had always lived at Yu Minglang’s house. When his brother-in-law educated his children, he also conveniently tutored his uncle.

This caused his uncle to escape from that terrifying place as soon as he came of age. Normal people really couldn’t stand such rigid and strict management.

“I climbed up myself, it only took 40 seconds. If it wasn’t for the clothes limiting me, 25 seconds would have been enough.” This was one of Yu Minglang’s regular training routines in the past.

“Enough, cut to the chase. Why did you come here in the middle of the night?” “Uncle, did you recently acquire anything new? I want to make a ring; it has to be the best jade.”

As soon as Yu Minglang said this, his uncle immediately got up and took out a palm-sized stone from the safe. He opened a window, excitedly shone a flashlight at it, and showed it to Yu Minglang.

“I gambled this one at the border, the raw stone wasn’t expensive, it is destined to increase in value. I never wanted to open it all, I just made a window. Look, even without polishing, it has such good water quality. It is definitely a floating-green gem, no doubt about it.”

Those in the jade business always got excited when they acquired a treasure. His uncle considered Minglang as a confidant. Other members of the Yu family didn’t appreciate such things, they were too stiff, but Minglang was proficient in it, and could often exchange opinions with him.

Yu Minglang looked at the raw stone and measured it with his hand, nodding approvingly. It was great.

“Actually, I was also undecided. If it became a pendant, wouldn’t it be too good? Or should it become a buckle? Actually, it would be best if it became a bracelet, but if a bracelet with such a good a texture and small diameter were made, I would be afraid that it wouldn’t sell.”

People who could afford jade wouldn’t be too young. These small diameter bracelets, young women couldn’t afford, and those who could afford couldn’t fit it. A pity indeed.

Yu Minglang’s eyes lit up, this one’s perfect. Absolutely perfect!

He asked his uncle seriously.

“Uncle, do you think that giving a lady a ring as a gift might seem a little frivolous?”

He originally intended to make a jade ring for Xiaoqian to wear. This way, even if he wasn’t by her side, when Xiaoqian wanted to wash her hands and saw the ring on her hand, she wouldn’t feel so lonely, and maybe it could alleviate her hand-washing symptoms.

Why not gold, silver, or diamond?

Too tacky.

He always felt that this girl deserved to wear jade. The best jade. They say gold has a price, jade is priceless. He didn’t want to give her something with a price. His girl deserved the priceless.

Upon hearing Yu Minglang’s words, his uncle straightened up.

“Have you found a partner?”

“Hmm, just got together.” Although she declared it herself, she was still his girlfriend.

“Girl…?” His uncle asked seriously, Minglang gave him a strange look.

“Of course!” Why did everyone ask him such a weird question when they found out that he had a sweetheart?

His uncle clasped his hands together, mumbling Buddhist incantations.

“Fantastic, you have finally found someone to torment!”

The youngest of the Yu family, the former little tyrant, was unanimously believed by the whole family to be likely to stay single for a lifetime. The chance of him starting a relationship was slim.

It wasn’t that Yu Minglang was not outstanding, but rather he was too outstanding and had a picky eye. The family all thought that he might end up remaining alone due to his high standards.

Unexpectedly, he also had a sweetheart. This was good news! His uncle was so excited that he wanted to grab the phone. This kind of event must be told to his big sister!

“My mom knows, don’t bother her. Instead, tell me, should I not give her a ring?”

“In theory, giving a ring when you’ve just met is a bit… How long have you known her, what docs she do, how old is she?”

“Not long, she’s a great woman. You don’t need to worry — Uncle, I’ve always been the best to you since childhood. I need to consider for you. Seriously.”

Yu Minglang’s eyes shone brightly. His uncle felt a sudden surge of unease. Was he….conjuring up another devious plan?
